Reygate/Reigate family

[carol o]

Is anyone researching Edward Reygate and his family?
 I believe one of his children (Ada)  married Peter Cambell in New Zealand.
 My connection is
 Edward s' father Edward was my g.g.grandfather Robert Reygate brother. 
 Would love to hear from anyone
Regards Carol

Hi Bren.
 Thanks for the marriage information of Ada and Peter. I see you are researching Campbell, any connection?

 I have found the family arrived in New Zealand in 1877.
Edward died on board ship in 1876. That left wife Ann and children William 9, Ada 6, Anne 2, to cope on their own
 Does anyone have any other information on rest of family?
Any help appreciated
Carol

Hi Carol


Apart from Ada, the only other REYGATE/REIGATE marriages are:

1878 Folio Ref: 0621
Ann REYGATE
Thomas HEWSON

1900 Folio Ref: 2397
Annie REIGATE
John William Briggs GILCHRIST

So looks like Mum and the 2 girls possibly married, but nothing for son William.

My Campbells are mostly Scotland and Lancashire and one wife who apparently took 2 boys to Canada c. 1885 (but have no leads on them)

My Thanks to Bren for the marriage information of Ann Reigate and her daughter Annie.

I have found that William died 8/11/1881 and is buried in Timaru cemetery.

 My Thanks to Del for finding Ada and Peter Campbell living in Timaru in 1893.
Please forgive my ignorance, but did New Zealand have censuses?

How do I find where Ann and daughter Annie lived?
Thanks for all the help

Hi there,

Numeric probate case files 

Timaru High Court Probate Files
GILCHRIST John William B. - Timaru  >>   1932 1932 Timaru District Court

NZ Archives: http://www.archway.archives.govt.nz/CallSimpleSearch.do


Anne & John William B Gilchrist also buried together at Timaru, also a Ann & Thomas  Hewson buried together, There is a Peter and a ada Campbell also buried, but I didnt check to see if they are together. I would check and see who else if any other names are buried with or next to these couple, they are likely family.


So likely the whole family stayed in Timaru
Cheers
Del

Hi Del.
   Thank you for finding the whole family in Timaru.

 I will wait and see if there are any family members still there and researching their history.
All this started as I was given a book on New Zealand.Inside was a inscription to cousin Charlie from Ada Campbell 1915. Need to find out who cousin Charlie is!!
Thanks again for your help
Carol
